Expanded Frequently Asked Questions – Alameda

Is it different to sue in Alameda because it is an island?

Legally no, practically yes:

• Jury pool includes island residents (more conservative)
• “Small town” pressure exists
• Everyone knows each other = intimidation
• But also = more witnesses

Advantage: Cases go to Oakland court, not local.

What if I work on Coast Guard Island?

Federal employment = different rules:

• Federal Workers’ Comp (FECA)
• EEOC for discrimination
• Federal Tort Claims Act
• Sovereign immunity issues

BUT more protections in some cases. You need a lawyer with federal experience.

Do Victorian houses cause special employment issues?

Absolutely. If you work in:

• Cleaning: Lead paint exposure
• Construction/renovation: Asbestos guaranteed
• Maintenance: Falls from high structures
• Moving: Narrow stairs = injuries

Homeowners insurance is good in Alameda. We maximize recovery.

How does the closure of the Naval Air Station affect things?

Alameda Point = environmental disaster:

• Radioactive waste
• Asbestos everywhere
• Lead contamination
• Chemical exposure

If you work in development/construction there, the employer must provide extra protection. They don’t.

Why does Park Street have so many employment issues?

Park Street = tourist destination but:

• Restaurants compete = cut corners
• Diagonal parking = delivery dangers
• Constant events = overwork
• “Quaint” image = exploitation hidden

Can I sue Alameda Hospital if I work for a contractor?

Yes, joint employer doctrine:

• If the hospital controls your work
• If they benefit from your labor
• If they supervise directly

We sue both – more recovery.

What about workers at marijuana dispensaries?

Legal in California BUT:

• Cash business = wage theft
• Security risks without protection
• Federal vs state law confusion
• Discrimination for medical use

Unique but winnable cases.

Do ferries and the marina have special rules?

Maritime work = special laws:

• Jones Act for seamen
• Longshore Act for dock workers
• Maritime law is federal
• Damages can be more

“My name is Arlo Uriarte. I’m not a TV commercial. I’m not a billboard on the 101. I am a real lawyer, from the real community, fighting real battles.

I know what it’s like to get up at 4 AM for a job that doesn’t respect your humanity. I know what it’s like to endure insults, discrimination, wage theft because ‘you need the job.’ I know what it’s like to be afraid to speak because you don’t have papers.

But I also know how to win. I know how to make them pay. I know how to get justice.

I don’t care if you work at Tesla or in a taco truck. I don’t care if you have a PhD or didn’t finish elementary school. I don’t care about your immigration status.
